Looking at this bug I am reminded of an old elementary school song - The Hokey Pokey
What a fun song that was to sing! Even as adults we sing that song here in Blacksburg during Virginia Tech Football games. I pulled it up on Wikipedia and found some very interesting info on the origins of that song. I didn't realize that it was also sung in other countries.
Here is a link to the info on Wikipedia: HOKEY POKEY.
You tube has some cool videos of the VA Tech Marching Band doing the Hokey Pokey also - Click HERE for the Link.
I would love to hear if you have sung this song - as a child or as an adult.
Here is the same shot of the bug - just not cropped as closely. He has Queen Anne's Lace as his "umbrella". Thanks for all of the comments from yesterday .... I got some good laughs from those as well!!
Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place. ~Josh Billings
that's what it's all about! :)
ReplyDeleteI like his umbrella.I don't remember ever singing that song.
ReplyDeleteyou made the scary bug beautiful! ha, i remember doing the hokey pokey as a kid at the roller skate rink!
ReplyDeleteAwesome macro! We sang the Hokey Pokey at birthday parties when I was a child. Fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd you turn yourself about!
ReplyDeleteNice shot up close. I sing this song in my Spanish courses for my first year students....it's a lot of fun and gets a lot of laughs.
ReplyDeleteHe looks lethal! (I sure did the Hokey Pokey - who didn't?)
ReplyDeleteI do agree with you! Beautiful macro shots!
ReplyDeleteYou had me googling this, how interesting the theories are. This song was very popular when I was growing up in England and remains so, although like with a lot of songs and nursery rhymes the words are a little different (sometimes tunes too, I have had to relearn quite a lot with my daughter).
ReplyDeleteFabulous photo.

ReplyDeleteum....scarey looking bug but i LOVE gueen anne's lace, a recent addiction of mine!!
